The program offers free eye screenings for children. In December screenings were held for prekindergarten and kindergarten students at
Schroon Lake and Crown Point schools.
“Lions SEE stands for Screening Eyes Early and
it is so important to their vision future,” said
Kevin Lavarnway, Schroon Lions president. “For
young children, their vision is all that they know
and do not realize that everyone does not see
things as they do.”

ments of each child’s eyes. Those measurements
can detect problems with the eyes that no one, not
even the child, may be aware of, Lavarnway said.
“The screening can detect a problem early
enough that it can be treated,” he said. “After a
certain age, a child’s brain can learn to ignore
messages from the defective eye and there is little or no effective treatment that can reverse this
problem. The key is early detection and intervention.”

TICONDEROGA — A dream come true became a nightmare for a New York couple, who were at the center of one
of America’s greatest tragedies.
Virginia LaPointe, Ticonderoga Historical Society board
trustee, will present “The Haunted Major” at the Hancock
House on Friday, Jan. 18, at 7 p.m.
“Mrs. LaPointe’s program is a fascinating story of the life
of Maj. Henry Rathbone,” noted Charlene Dreimiller, a
Ticonderoga Historical Society trustee. “This event is free
to the public and light refreshments will be served.”
Henry Reed Rathbone was born 1837 in Albany, the son of
Jared Rathbone, Albany Mayor and wealthy businessman,
and Pauline Penny.
“Maj. Henry Rathbone’s story is an amazing one of struggle and tragedy,” Dreimiller said. “Many people aren’t
aware that Henry and his fiancée Clara Harris, the daughter of New York State Sen. Ira T. Harris, were the guests of
President and Mrs. Lincoln in their private state box at the
Ford Theater at the play ‘Our American Cousin’ that fateful
night of April 14, 1865. Even though the invitation was at
the last minute due to the declination by General and Mrs.
Ulysses S. Grant, how excited the young couple must have
been to be seen in the company of the President and First
Lady! But it was an exhilaration that would end so unex-

pectedly.
“Mrs. LaPointe’s
program follows the
difficult life of this
couple and the impact the assassination had on their
lives,”
Dreimiller
said. “It is a program
of many emotions,
from sadness to illness to death, and
will certainly keep
you spellbound for
Virgina LaPointe
the entire evening.”
The
Hancock
House, home of the Ticonderoga Historical Society, is a
Georgian mansion, a gift of philanthropist Horace Moses,
and houses a significant collection of regional material in its
archives, along with a research and genealogical library. The
society is open all year and houses a gift shop full of books
and area memorabilia.
“This free program promises to be an extremely interesting event you won’t want to miss,” Dreimiller said. “We
hope you will join us for the entertainment and a chance to
talk with friends over refreshments.”

Society, 6 Moses Circle, Ticonderoga, or phone 585-7868 or

Hacker Boat Co to leave Ticonderoga
Jobs going to Queensbury
By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com
TICONDEROGA — When Hacker Boat Co. received a
state grant last month it was hailed as good news for the local economy.
That turns out to be wrong.
Hacker has announced it will use a $600,000 grant from
the state’s Regional Economic Development Council to move
its operations from Ticonderoga to Queensbury, shutting
down two local facilities and taking 38-40 jobs out of the
community.
“It’s largely based on expanding internationally, in terms
of market,” explained Kenneth Rawley, Hacker spokesman.
“We’re going to build larger boats, in addition to the ones
we make now. We’ll need more space.”
Rawley said Hacker will build a new plant in Queensbury
and move all operations there in 2013. He said there is no
time table for the move.
Ticonderoga Supervisor Deb Malaney expressed dismay
at the news.
“Clearly, we’re very disappointed to hear Hacker Boat is
relocating,” she said. “The town of Ti and Essex County Industrial Development Agency offered every possible incentive, along with additional services, to encourage them to
stay. For the time being, those incentives will remain on the
table. At the end of the day, Hacker has to do what they feel
is best for the organization. We wish them much success in
the future.“
The company manufactures luxury mahogany Hacker
Craft boats in the former Delmar Box plant on Delano Road
in Ticonderoga. It also uses the former Newberry Store on
Montcalm Street for repairs and restorations. Both facilities
will close.
Hacker ’s employees in Ticonderoga will be offered jobs in
Queensbury, Rawley said.
“We’re working to make that happen,” he said.
Company offices, a showroom and a marina are located in
Silver Bay. Rawley said there are no plans to leave Silver Bay
at this time.
In announcing the Regional Economic Development
Council grant in December, state Sen. Betty Little said,
“Hacker Boat Company will expand its current facility to
meet demands for manufacturing larger boats. The company will invest $5.4 million and create 31 new jobs.”
There was no mention of the company leaving Ticonderoga.

Rawley said the move to Queensbury will make the company more accessible to customers and allow the firm to consolidate operations in a single location.
Many Hacker customers fly into Albany and travel to the
Ticonderoga plant to select a boat. Queensbury will be more
convenient for clients, Rawley said.
The new Queensbury facility will be constructed near
Northway Exit 18.
The Ticonderoga plant opened in the fall of 2009.
“This is no reflection on Ticonderoga,” Rawley said.
“We’ve enjoyed our time in Ticonderoga. This is simply a
matter of expanding to a larger facility.”
Hacker announced last year plans to add larger models to
its product line, a departure from a tradition of building
boats that average 22-30 feet length overall.
For decades the company has built three models — Runabout, Sport and Racer — rarely longer than 30 feet. While
larger custom boats have been built, almost all boats have
been in the 22-30 foot range.
The decision to build larger boats is based on the company’s international expansion efforts. The new models will be
39 to 45 foot, suitable for coastal cruising.

Hacker Boat Co. has been making classic vessels for more
than a century. Hacker makes hand-crafted, mahogany
boats. Every board is cut, all 30,000 screws are placed by
hand. Even the metal hardware is fabricated on site. Each
boat gets up to 18 coats of varnish.
The Delano Road facility has the capacity to build 15-20
boats at a time. It takes six months — about 2,000 man hours
— to construct one and the company completes 30-40 boats
a year.
Prices start at $100,000 and go to $250,000 for standard
models. Custom boats cost more.
Hacker Boats traces its history to 1908 when John Hacker
took note of engines being designed for cars in Detroit and
applied the technology to boats.
He designed a round about that became known as the
“Steinway” of boats, a reference to the famed piano. He built
boats for the rich and famous and helped the U.S. Navy during World War II.
When fiberglass boats were created in the 1950s, their limited maintenance and cheaper price made them more popular with the general public.
Hacker survived, though, by catering to high-end classic
boat lovers.

Ticonderoga High School students, along with the Ticonderoga Kiwanis, collected food and donations to benefit the Ticonderoga Food Pantry
recently. The Ticonderoga Holiday Stuff-A-Bus event was held at the Ticonderoga Wal-Mart store. Loading the bus are students Hannah Herbst, James Cook and Rachel Scuderi.

Time to follow the Open Meetings Law

I

t’s been almost a year since Gov. Andrew Cuomo approved an amendment
to the Open Meetings Law (section
103e) requiring public bodies — school, town,
village, city, county and state boards — to
provide meeting material to the public prior
to their meetings.
While some boards have made progress toward meeting this requirement, which was
enacted last February, we sadly report that
many public bodies are not following the law.
Moreover, many are not fulfilling the spirit
of the law because they are hiding behind
language in the amendment preventing it
from becoming an unfunded mandate.
We urge all public boards to rectify this
shortcoming immediately instead of hoping
the public will ignore their responsibilities in
regard to the New York State Open Meetings
Law. The public has a right to know what
board members are talking about in their
meetings.
Starting Feb. 2, 2012, New York state began
requiring boards to give the public access to
their records scheduled for discussion at
open meetings. The reason?
“Members of the public have on many occasions complained that they cannot fully understand discussions among members of
public bodies, even though the discussions
occur in public,” states the New York Department of State Committee on Open Government.
This change to the Open Meetings Law
was made so “those interested in the work of
public bodies should have the ability, within
reasonable limitations, to see the records
scheduled to be discussed during open meetings prior to the meetings.”
The change to the law centers around two
types of records:
1) those that are required to be made available pursuant to the Freedom of Information
Law (FOIL);
2) and proposed resolutions, law, rules,
regulations, policies or amendments thereto.
When these records are scheduled to be
discussed, they must be “made available,
upon request therefor, to the extent practicable as determined by the agency or the department, prior to or at the meeting during
which the records will be discussed.”
Public bodies can charge a reasonable fee
for copies of the meeting material. However,
by posting them online, they will save money.

Unfortunately, there are many boards who
are not following the amendment’s website
requirement:
“If the agency in which a public body functions maintains a regularly and routinely updated website and utilizes a high speed Internet connection, such records shall be posted
on the website to the extent practicable as determined by the agency or the department,
prior to the meeting.”
This is where many boards are failing. And
they’re hiding behind the words “to the extent practicable.”
When asked about this language during
the New York Press Association conference in
the spring of 2012, Committee on Open Government
Executive Director Robert Freeman answered
a Denton Publications editor with a question:
“Can you place it on your website?” The answer was “yes.” Therefore, it is practicable
for all boards to do so, he asserted.
Public boards are also hiding behind the
language that prevents this from being an unfunded mandate:
“An agency may, but shall not be required
to, expend additional moneys to implement
the provisions of this subdivision.”
Therefore, some say they will not post
meeting material online because it will require them to redesign their websites, and
that costs money.
Wrong. If the public body updates its own
website, it doesn’t cost extra money, just extra
time. Some towns, however, have outside
firms manage their websites, and updates do
cost money. But that should be considered
regular maintenance. You don’t have to redesign your website to post meeting material.
Hallmarks of website posting for their
meetings include the City of Glens Falls, Village of Saranac Lake and Johnsburg Central
School.
As for the other public entities, we’re keeping an eye on you. When we follow up on this
topic, we hope all boards will be complying
with the law.

value your comments and suggestions concerning all aspects of this publication.

he recent increase in highly visible
shootings around the country has
many talking about guns and legislations. Two recent items caught my eye as the
nation tries to come to grips with the best approach to address these senseless nightmare
events.
The first item was an editorial by Donald
Kaul, a retired editor from the Des Moines Register. The column appeared just after the shooting:
“I would tie Mitch McConnell and John
Boehner, our esteemed Republican leaders, to
the back of a Chevy pickup truck and drag
them around a parking lot until they saw the
light on gun control. And if that didn’t work, I’d
adopt radical measures.”
“Declare the NRA a terrorist organization
and make membership illegal. Hey! We did it to
the Communist Party, and the NRA has led to
the deaths of more of us than American Commies ever did. (I would also raze the organization’s headquarters, clear the rubble and salt the
earth, but that’s optional.) Make ownership of
unlicensed assault rifles a felony. If some people
refused to give up their guns, than “prying the
guns from their cold, dead hands” thing works
for me.”
Not a very rational approach, but we must
understand the emotion these repeated events
has on people who feel helpless and obviously
hopeless.
Now, here’s another side of the multi-dimensional argument, which came to my attention
recently. It’s from Darrell Scott, the father of
Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High
School shootings. His comments were provided
in an address before the House Judiciary Subcommittee shortly after the Columbine shooting
tragedy in May 1999.
“Since the dawn of creation there has been
both good and evil in the hearts of men and
women. We all contain the seeds of kindness or
the seeds of violence. The death of my wonderful daughter, Rachel Joy Scott, and the deaths of
that heroic teacher, and the other 11 children
who died must not be in vain. Their blood cries
out for answers.”
“The first recorded act of violence was when
Cain slew his brother Abel out in the field. The
villain was not the club he used. Neither was it
the NCA, the National Club Association. The
true killer was Cain, and the reason for the murder could only be found in Cain's heart.”

“In the days
that followed
the Columbine
tragedy, I was
amazed at
how quickly
fingers began
to be pointed at
groups such as
Dan Alexander
the NRA. I am
Thoughts from
not a member
Behind the Pressline
of the NRA. I
am not a hunter. I do not even own a gun. I am
not here to represent or defend the NRA — because I don't believe that they are responsible
for my daughter's death.”
“Men and women are three-part beings. We
all consist of body, mind and spirit. When we
refuse to acknowledge a third part of our makeup, we create a void that allows evil, prejudice
and hatred to rush in and wreak havoc.”
“Spiritual presences were present within our
educational systems for most of our nation's
history.”
“We have refused to honor God, and in so
doing, we open the doors to hatred and violence. And when something as terrible as
Columbine's tragedy occurs — politicians immediately look for a scapegoat such as the
NRA. They immediately seek to pass more restrictive laws that contribute to erode away our
personal and private liberties. We do not need
more restrictive laws.”
“Eric and Dylan would not have been
stopped by metal detectors. No amount of gun
laws can stop someone who spends months
planning this type of massacre.”
“The real villain lies within our own hearts.
We do need a change of heart and a humble acknowledgement that this nation was founded
on the principle of simple trust in God.”
We’ll hear more on this subject in the days
ahead, and while some may advocate more violence in order to curb violence we all must
make certain we have a thoughtful and realistic
debate on the issues truly at the root of these
events. There are an untold number of things
that cause untimely deaths in this world. To address these issues we must look beyond the superficial cause and not allow political agendas
to cloud a very important debate.

Lack of leadership
To the Times of Ti:
After watching the actions of the Ticonderoga town board
for the last few years, the fact that our town has a severe
leadership void is more than a little apparent.
The latest straw on the camel’s back is a state grant, with
the support of the supervisor, secured to help Hacker Boat
leave town. I just don’t understand how that can happen.
Even Sen. (Betty) Little was fooled considering her statement
of how good the grant would be for Ti.
Hacker has stated they need a larger facility and that is the
main reason they are leaving. Did anyone think to mention
the Lowe’s building?
We are spending $13 million on a water supply system
when we seem to have one of the better sources in the state
already being used. We do have a 100-year-old delivery system that is receiving no attention other than band aids when
it breaks. So do we wind up with a new supply and no way
to deliver the water? Or do we spend another $13 million to
do what needs doing now?
Ti’s IP (International Paper) mill is developing a new natural gas pipe line to serve the plant, a plan that will cut their
heat cost by 45 percent. Now that takes leadership. Is the
town negotiating with the mill to insure the line is large
enough for the surrounding communities? That, too, would
take leadership, and I think the local residents, schools and
businesses would love the chance to utilize the resource.
Doesn’t look like it will happen.
I could go on but I think it is plainly and painfully obvious that our lack of leadership is hurting our town. The residents of our town deserve better.

The recent episode of killing by a deranged person using
an assault weapon has once again brought out all kinds of
comparisons by gun enthusiasts! One even used an out-ofcontrol vehicle as a comparison to an assault weapon!
This is what one would expect from a fanatic who has no
idea of what our founding fathers meant when writing our
Second Amendment! A writer wrote “Knowledgeable and
good people do not want their Second Amendment rights violated.” I am a knowledgeable person and I have had a “concealed carry permit” for 50 years. I believe in the right to
bare arms, but I draw the line when it comes to assault
weapons that have no other purpose than to kill!
Over the years as a sportsman I have obtained rifles and
shotguns for the purpose of hunting game. None of these
firearms could possibly inflict the same devastation an assault weapon could in a matter of moments.
I, too, love my Constitution and as many others have, I
have served my country. Those brain washed by the National Rifle Association have been telling us for decades that
“They” are waiting to take our guns away! Just who “They”
is will always be a mystery but as Walt Kelly used the quote,
“We have met the enemy and he is us” on a Pogo poster back
in 1970, I would guess the enemy in this case is the NRA!
Sadly, for every one of us who writes saying assault
weapons should be banned, there are five saying we are infringing on their rights. We can’t rely on our politicians to
help, as they are under the illusion that taking a stand
against the gun lobby means their political careers are over.
There is a law pertaining to duck hunting that states, “You
may not hunt migratory game birds with a shotgun that
holds more than three shells.” At the same time it is legal to
have an assault weapon whose only purpose is to kill humans and it can hold enough shells to kill dozens of innocent victims without reloading. God help us!

Kudos to Times of Ti staff
To the Times of Ti:
I would like to offer my congratulations to the following people for their lack of fear for freedom of speech. How wonderful it is to read an editorial or an article where the author is not
afraid to mention God or faith or religion. Our society has be-

come so sick that they are trying to take God out of everything
and in all actuality God is everything and without Him the evil
that exists in our country and around the world will continue
and will continue to get worse.
I am not always able to read the paper when I receive it weekly but it is never thrown away until I do and what I read at that
time is Joe Hackett, letters to the editor, Times of Ti editorial
and Dan Alexander. Mr. Alexander is a wonderful writer and
says some very powerful things as I said he is not afraid to say
it like it is, whether it is about politics or society or religion or
whatever. You do not always get this honesty because people
are afraid of repercussions but I think it is great that Denton
Publications is willing to tell it like it is.
My congratulations go out to Dan Alexander (Jr. & Sr.), Fred

Schroon celebration a success
To the Times of Ti:
The Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce, which sponsored
the New Year ’s celebration in Schroon Lake, would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the volunteers and organizations
who helped make it possible.
Despite the abundance of snow this year, Town Supervisor
Mike Marnell and the parks department did a great job of
preparing the site for the bonfire and the fireworks launching
area. Jim and Stacey Kowalka along with Mark Piper set the
dramatic mood by placing over 100 luminaries on the site and
Shawn Baker from the Word of Life kept everyone warm with
his hot chocolate service before the fireworks. It was cold duty,
but done with a smile! Superintendent (Bonnie) Finnerty and
the volunteers from the school provided food and crafts for all
and the Adirondack Shakespeare company kept everyone in
stitches with their variety show. For those with happy feet, the
DJ from Party Productions Inc. kept everyone hopping in the
gymnasium.
A special thanks to our ticket sellers, cleaning crew, local
business supporters and all who attended the final event of
2012. We are already looking forward to next year!

Fort Ticonderoga volunteer recognized
Volunteer of Year named
By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com
TICONDEROGA — A Massachusetts man
is the 2012 Fort Ticonderoga Volunteer of the
Year.
Sigmund Podlozney of Lowell, Mass.,
earned the honor for his work in the interpretation department. He demonstrated tailoring in the Artificer ’s Post and performed
18th-century divine services based on research from period services.
“Mr. Podlozney’s contribution of 436
hours of volunteer service was a magnificent
gift that greatly enriched Fort Ticonderoga’s
mission and programming in 2012,” said
Beth Hill, Fort Ticonderoga president and
CEO. “He made a significant and very positive impact on the visitors experience this
past year and was a tremendous advocate for
Fort Ticonderoga’s mission in the community.”

Stuart Lilie, Fort Ticonderoga’s director of
interpretation, also praised Podlozney.
“Mr. Podlozney, a retired Congregational
minister, had recreated various characters
from the American Revolution since the bicentennial,” Lilie said. “With portrayals as
diverse as ships captains to Rev. Benjamin
Balch, Sigmund was particularly engaged by
Fort Ticonderoga’s commitment to authenticity in living history programs. He was
very eager to be a big part of the fort’s portrayal of 1775.”
Fort Ticonderoga volunteers gave more
than 14,000 hours in 2012 in areas including
interpretation, horticulture, education, development, collections, and buildings and
grounds, Hill said.
Podlozney earned the highest status in
Fort Ticonderoga’s Volunteers Count! rewards program and joins 13 others who
reached the platinum award level by contributing more than 51 hours of service.
The volunteer rewards program was initiated in 2012 and allows volunteers with 11

or more hours donated to earn a Volunteer
Ambassador Pass granting free general admission for the season as well as other benefits.
People interested in volunteering at the
fort can go the fort’s website at www.FortTiconderoga.org or by call 585-2821.
The Fort Ticonderoga Association, a notfor-profit educational organization, operates the fort. Open to the public since 1909,
Fort Ticonderoga is the earliest restoration
of its kind in the United States. It preserves
North America’s largest 18th-century artillery collection, 2,000 acres of historic landscape on Lake Champlain, Carillon Battlefield and the King’s Garden.
Fort Ticonderoga attracts more than
70,000 visitors each year, and annually
reaches more than 5,000 people in outreach
programs.
Fort Ticonderoga is accredited by the
American Association of Museums and pursues its vision to be the premier military historic site and museum in North America.

A Massachusetts man is the 2012 Fort Ticonderoga
Volunteer of the Year. Sigmund Podlozney of Lowell,
Mass., earned the honor for his work in the interpretation department.

Ti Kiwanis look forward to spring with contest
By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com
TICONDEROGA — Spring may be a distant
hope for most area residents, but the Ticonderoga Kiwanis are thinking about warm
weather.
The Kiwanis are now selling tickets for their
annual “Win at 55” contest. Participants are
asked to guess the date and time the temperature in Ticonderoga will reach 55 degrees.
“This is one of our major fundraisers for the
club,” said Bob Dedrick of the Kiwanis. “Tickets have been distributed to all Kiwanis members and we are having two sales at Stewarts,

one in January and one in February.”
Tickets are $5 each.
“The person coming closest to guessing the
day and hour that the air temperature reaches
55 degrees after Feb. 28 will win $500 with second and third prizes of $300 and $200, respectfully,” Dedrick said.
The temperature will be measured at the
weather station located at the Downing residence on The Portage in Ticonderoga and may
be checked at www.weatherundergound.com.
Proceeds from the contest will assist the Kiwanis in community projects.
“Some of the projects that we sponsor include new playground equipment and gazebo

at the Bicentennial Park, purchasing flower
boxes on the bridge in downtown Ti, Easter egg
hunt for children, sponsoring the Christmas
party at the Ti school for seniors, the Kiwanis
scholarship for graduating seniors from Ti and
Crown Point, purchasing benches throughout
the park, paying for the well at the Ti beach,
purchasing fire equipment for Hague, sponsor-

ing the bridge building contest, sponsoring a
Little League team and contributing to special
events held throughout the area,” Dedrick
said.
“One of our missions, as Kiwanis members,
is to build a better community,” he added.
“This fundraiser goes a long way in fulfilling
that goal.”

Local businesses begin accepting Adirondack Bucks
By Shaun Kittle
shaun@denpubs.com
WARRENSBURG — Anna Busser thinks the key to the survival of the United States is found in small communities.
It is important, she said, for members of those communities to begin examining the goods and services available to
them, and to use that dialog to advocate filling in what is
missing.
Money is important, too, which is why Busser founded the
Adirondack Cooperative Economy and began printing some
specifically for the region.
“My father was a banker in Austria, so I got to see the power of a bank to rebuild a country,” Busser said. “I would like
to see money playing a different role in this country.”
The currency, called Adirondack Bucks, is shaped like a
dollar bill and has similar anti-counterfeit intricacies in its
design as federal paper money, but any likeness stop there.
Most notably, there’s a picture of Warrensburg on the bill
where a portrait usually is, above which it reads: “Be the
change you want to see.”
Next to the townscape is a pitch to buy local and below
that is a quote from Jimi Hendrix: “When the power of love
overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.”
“The idea of money came out of different discussions
about how we can save our towns,” Busser said. “I believe
everything is interconnected with everything else. It’s a matter of waking up and being creative.”
Busser said modern communities are suffering greatly because their economies have not stayed local, which in turn
has severed people’s relationships with one another.
“We have become strangers to each other,” Busser said.
“The tendency is for everyone to be their own. We’ve lost
this togetherness.”
Busser said money can help recreate community by bringing local businesses and individuals together.
So far, about 25 businesses have started accepting the currency, but that’s not bad considering the money began circulating in September.
Individuals and businesses can become members of the
Adirondack Cooperative Economy. Members pay $25 to join
and receive $25 in Adirondack Bucks in return.
Since the Adirondack Cooperative Economy is a non-profit membership group, the membership money will go back
into the community and be spent according to the wishes of
the members.
“It’s really about developing self sufficient communities,”
Busser said. “We have this colossal national debt, and the
money doesn’t exist to pay off that debt.”

Lions and more than 30 other clubs in northern New York
State, purchased four $5,000 scanners last year for local
clubs to utilize. Training has also been provided to local Lions.
“Operating the scanner is very simple although it does
take some practice to get consistently reliable results,”
Lavarnway said.
Flashing lights on the device hold the child’s attention and
various beeps and tones tell the operator how the scanning
is progressing. A reliability number from 1 through 9 comes
up on the screen to let the Lion know if the several measurements taken are close to one another.
“We need a minimum reliability of 7 before we submit the
results,” Lavarnway said. “We do not know the significance
of the other measurements taken and we do not interpret
them. The data is sent to the Ira G. Ross Eye Institute in Buffalo, where it is analyzed by professionals. They, in turn,
send those results directly back to the parents and/or the

Denton Publications, Inc.
We’re more than a newspaper, We’re a community service.

HOW TO REACH

Currently, the Adirondack Buck is on par with federal currency, but that can change since alternative currency isn’t
bound to the same value.
“We’ve printed this money, which is backed up by the
goods and services of the members,” Busser said. “In
essence, we can break away from the federal dollar at any
time, but Adirondack Bucks will only work if a large amount
of people in one place are using them.”
Busser is hoping that other communities catch on, and that
Adirondack Bucks could someday be used throughout the
region — from Glens Falls to Plattsburgh and beyond.
Florence Loden, owner of Our Simple Life Farm in Warrensburg, joined immediately after she learned about the
currency.
“I like the idea for the fact that the Adirondack Bucks will
keep money local,” Loden said. “People are going to look at
you like you’ve got snakes coming out of your head, but it’s

a community that’s trying to build for security. To me, that
sounds like a good thing if the bottom falls out of everything.”
Loden’s farm is small and has draft mules, chickens, pigs
and Angora goats. She and her husband also grow flax, a
straw-like grass that can be harvested and processed into a
linen thread, which can then be woven into cloth.
The proposal came at the end of the season for Loden and
her husband, so she has not been able to accept the new money yet, but when the time does come they will accept Adirondack Bucks as partial payment on more expensive items, but
cheaper things, like eggs, can be paid in full using the currency.
“I would like to see this money stay small and communal,” Loden said. “I want to see small businesses grow, and
make this community really something to be proud of.”

school for their records. If a problem is detected, recommendations for the next steps are given to the parents.”
About 3 to 5 percent of students screened are identified
with a problem, Lavarnway said.
The Schroon Lions are working with local school officials
to conduct the screenings.
“These were our first sessions and we coordinated them
through the superintendents and the school nurses who provided the necessary contact with the parents,” Lavarnway
said of the Schroon Lake and Crown Point screenings.
“Everything went very smoothly and we thank all the folks
involved for their help.”
Lions Dennis D’Amico and Cathy Moses are co-chairs of
the Lions SEE program in Schroon Lake.
“Our Lions Club has many ways that we support individuals and groups in our area,” D’Amico said. “I can’t think
of any, however, that are more in line with what Lions do
than to screen a child’s eyes to prevent a lifetime of vision
problems.”
The Schroon Lions will reach out to other schools and day
care centers in the area to schedule more screenings in the
near future.
In 1925 Helen Keller addressed the Lions Clubs International Convention in Cedar Point, Ohio, and challenged Lions to become “knights of the blind in the crusade against
darkness.” Since then, Lions have worked to aid the blind
and visually impaired.
“It goes back to the original emphasis and focus of the Li-

THE

ons’ mission to combat blindness; to help these young students who have their entire lives ahead of them makes it
even more special,” Moses said of the SEE program.
Information on the Lions SEE program is available online
at www.LionsSEE.org.
“I would like to thank everyone who supports the efforts
of the Lions,” Lavarnway said. “We rely on the generosity
of the people we serve to maintain our programs and to add
new ones such as the Lions SEE program.“

What should a parent know when
talking to a child about safety?
Speak to your children in a
manner that is calm and nonthreatening. Children do not
need to be frightened to get
the point across. In fact, fear
can thwart the safety message, because fear can be
paralyzing to a child.
Speak openly. Children will
be less likely to come to you
about issues shrouded in
secrecy. If they feel that you
are comfortable discussing
the subject at hand, they may
be more forthcoming.
Teach your child his or her
full name, address, telephone
number (including area code),
and how to dial “911” for help
or “0” for operator.
Adults rarely ask children for
directions or help. Teach your
child that if this happens,
they should ignore the person

Essex County welcomes new faces, re-appoints Douglas as chair
By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com
ELIZABETHTOWN — Saying that it was a challenge,
“that I must do,” Randy Douglas again took the gavel to preside over the Essex County Board of Supervisors for an unprecedented fourth term.
“These times we have faced over the last three years have
been very difficult,” Douglas said during the 214th Organizational Meeting of the board Jan. 7.
As reported, Douglas was joined by Keene Supervisor Bill
Ferebee, who was sworn in as the vice chairman of the board,
replacing North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi.
“Your leadership, wisdom and most of all, your friendship, have been appreciated over the past three years,” Douglas said of Politi. “I am happy to have my good friend Bill
Ferebee join me as vice chair. He has shown his leadership
with his dedication to lead his town out of Irene.”
Douglas set forth his priorities for the new year, focusing
on finances.
“We are now forced with the heavy burden of funding a
tax levy and tax rate that our constituents can live with,”
Douglas said. “We need to quit the blame game and saying
that it was someone else that put us here. I believe that we
must scrutinize every tax dollar that we spend, including
our contract agencies. We need to push the state to give us
the home rule to allow us to work with our sales tax and occupancy tax.”
Douglas said that he plans to visit each department personally in 2013 and assign a supervisor to be as personal liaison to each one.
Douglas concluded by saying that he wanted to do a better job communicating to constituents.
“We must do a better job in public perception,” Douglas
said. “We do so many things well to assist our people, and
they need to know about that. However, one bad item is what
they will focus on.”
Douglas was nominated
for the position of chairman
by Wilmington Supervisor
Randy Preston.

The nomination was seconded by Lewis Supervisor

Wooden Blocks aid
children’s program
MINEVILLE — Essex Industries recently crafted 1,000
wooden blocks for the Essex County Children with Disabilities program.
The goal of the block project is to provide children with
the opportunity to engage in developmental block play,
while employing the local craftsmanship of the Essex Industries staff.
“Block play is an important part of early childhood development. It offers opportunities for creativity, imagination,
problem solving, and foundational mathematical understandings. Block play also has a developmental sequence to
it that transfers to other skills like drawing and writing,”
said Susan Allott, director of the children with disabilities
program of Essex County Public Health.
For more information about this program or others of Essex County Public Health visit www.co.essex.ny.us/PublicHealth.

Stewart’s holiday match program generates $1.3 million for charities
PORT HENRY — The 26th annual Stewart’s Shops Holiday Match program has once again topped the $ 1 million
mark in contributions for local children’s charities.
The company announced that Stewart’s customers donated $672,000. Stewart’s Shops is matching that amount, with
a total of $1,344,000 to be distributed in March.
“These are difficult times for many families and despite
the economic challenges we are always impressed with the
generosity of our customers,” said Susan Dake, Stewart’s
Foundation president.
The Holiday Match program is based on customers making contributions in the 324 Stewart’s Shops, located in upstate New York and western Vermont, from Thanksgiving
Day through Christmas Day. Stewart’s then matches all individual customer donations. The money raised benefits
children's organizations directly within the communities
where Stewart’s Shops are located.
There are no administrative costs and 100 percent of the

funds collected and matched benefit the communities. After this year ’s funds are distributed, over $17 million will
have been allocated since the program’s inception in 1986.
The $672,000 that Stewart's is matching is about 30 percent
of the $2,250,000 donations budget for Stewart’s Shops in
2013.

Ralph Boyle, father of Luke
Boyle, who has been stationed in Afghanistan
since October, receives a
donation from Loyalty
Riders’ Pat Putnam. Luke,
originally from Moriah,
has received 39 boxes
filled with supplies for him
and his troops furnished
by family, friends, community members and businesses. A collection box
for supplies is located at
the Moriah town hall. Collection tins to help cover
postage costs are located
at Boyea’s in Moriah and
Frank’s Knotty Pine in Port
Henry. Valentine Day
cards and heart candy are
now being collected for
shipment in mid-January.
Troops have also requested boxed soups, tuna
packages and candy.

considered for funding. Visit www.stewartsshops.com for

Jim Major, alliance board chairman, has asked Levitch to remain on the group’s steering board and will ask the board of
directors to list Levitch as trustee emeritus and founder.
“Alex is the founder and chief architect of TRA and will be
greatly missed,” Major said. “His direction, guidance and forward thinking has created a vision that will carry on, and has
been instrumental in both small and large plans for Ti. Everything we accomplish will be a positive statement about his
thinking and foresight. Alex will be greatly missed on the
board of directors.”
Chattie VanWert, alliance executive director, agreed Levitch
will be missed.
“Alex is the founder of the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance,” VanWert said. “It is his ‘Vision of a New Prosperity’
that inspires our growing participation, support, membership,
volunteerism and investment. It is Alex’s compelling call for
grass-roots partnerships that has brought us to where we
are today. He has personally reached out to donors who generously lend their financial support and volunteers who want
to make a difference in our community.
“Alex will certainly be missed, but I hope he will continue
to be able to respond to the occasional email, phone call or visitor who needs his guidance or encouragement,” she continued.
Sandy Morhouse, vice chairman of the alliance board,
agreed.
“He will be sorely missed,” Morhouse said of Levitch. “His
vision and extremely hard work in getting TRA to be a thriving organization , starting a mere few years ago as a figment
of his imagination, is the mark of a true civic leader and entrepreneur. I once said, regarding Alex, that he was the perfect
founder of an organization such as TRA — an organization
that, among other things, serves as a clearing house among
many different constituencies in our community — because he
had no agenda other than doing what was best for Ticonderoga.
“That has certainly been the case, and few others could have
accomplished what Alex did,” he added. “In the course of these
years working with Alex, I have found a new friend which

makes the entire endeavor particularly gratifying.”
Levitch said the alliance is in good hands.
“It took us two more years than I thought, originally, it
would take to get this beastie up and running; but thanks to
the selfless effort and contributions on the part of so many of
you, as well on the part of other brave souls who bowed in and
out but may yet return — This is, after all, a marathon! — I believe we have landed in safe hands,” Levitch said.
Levitch praised VanWert, Jim Major, alliance chairman, and
Morhouse.
“I’d like to take this moment to acknowledge, especially,
three individuals, who make it easy for me to tender this resignation,” Levitch said. “Chattie, you have not surprised me
one bit. You are, simply put, outstanding. Jim Major and Sandy
Morhouse — you know who you are. Without the unflagging
commitment, real money in, drive and creative energy of the
two of you, there would be no Alliance. I owe you both a lot
in terms of lessons taught along the way, as well as for, simply,
being there. More important, the community is already well
in debt to both of you.”
Levitch emphasized he feels strongly about the future of the
alliance.
“It’s called the alliance, because it seeks to include (through
its steering board) all the major players that are likely to impact on quality of life and economic change in Ticonderoga and
its immediate environs that are capable of sharing and working together toward a common vision for long term regional
economic prosperity,” he said.
“Its principle skills set should provide for competencies in
corporate and business outreach, branding, real estate development, deal structuring, project management and planning,
partnering, partnering and partnering,” he added. “Its principle cultural tenets to be memorialized via its reputation.”
The Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance is comprised of private donors, business and industry partners, town and county government, leaders of civic organizations, and citizens who
support its goals. The goals include strengthening and growing the local economy and business base as well as expanding
Ticonderoga as a hub for tourism, arts and culture.

22 - Times of Ti • State

January 12, 2013

Assemblyman Dan Stec identifies initial priorities
spite being a freshman state Assembly representative.
Stec has been named to the Environmental, Tourism, Social Services, Banking, and
Local Government committees.
He said that serving on the Environmental Conservation Committee would be particularly important, as that panel makes
some vital decisions which effect residents
of the southern Adirondacks.
The state’s purchase of 69,000 acres of former Finch Pruyn land for $48 million over
five years has been criticized by Adirondackers for the likelihood it will hamper the
economy and curtail job growth.
“I’m not a fan of how the state acquired
the land,” Stec said, noting that the first
phase of the land sale closed about two
weeks ago. “Rather than an outright sale, I’d
like to see more land in conservation easements and classified as ‘working forests.’
There’s still room for work on how this sale
is accomplished — I want to make sure local
residents’ and community leaders’ concerns
are addressed as much as possible.”
Another top priority is to curb costly and
restrictive state government dictates passed
down to local municipalities, he said.
Such mandate relief is vital for local jurisdictions — particularly school districts that
pay heavy expenses related to meeting state
regulations, Stec said.
“Talking with school superintendents
through the district, they’ve identified mandated programs and expenses which need to
be cut,” he said. “We need to be asking the
question, ‘Is this a need or is it a want?’”
Stec said he was committed to reducing
the size and cost of government, and he was
ready to get to work on these causes.
“We must have a fiscally responsible state
budget,” he said. “We have to be honest and
realistic in the state of New York about what
we can and cannot afford.”

QUEENSBURY — As new 114th District
Assemblyman Dan Stec (R-Queensbury) visited several counties this week to witness
their annual reorganizational ceremonies, he
identified his initial legislative priorities.
While the state leaders will be grappling
with whether to allow casinos, raising the
minimum wage and gun control as top issues, Stec said he will be advocating other
objectives that reflect the needs of his constituents in the southern Adirondacks.
“We really need to make the economy and
the job market the number one priority,” he
said. “So many other things stem from the
business climate and the state of the economy.”
Stec said that in this vein he will be lobbying to curb laws that entangle businesses
and raise their costs and unnecessarily burden their operations.
“We’ll be looking to reduce regulations
that hinder businesses,” he said.
Also a top priority, he said, will be reducing the tax burden in New York state, which
is nothing less than legendary.
“We have to work on reducing the cost of
state government, and that includes entitlements and other things that drive the cost of
living in our state through the roof,” he said.
This past week, Stec visited the reorganizational meetings of Essex County, Washington County, and his home turf of Warren
County.
“I’m trying to continue to be as visible as
possible in the 114th District and listen to my
constituents’ concerns,” he said.
Stec’s influence in Albany will likely be
bolstered by his appointment to several
high-profile committees. Area political observers have been pleased that he received
the appointments to influential posts de-

21st annual Yankee Sportsman's Classic Show to be held in Vermont
ESSEX JUNCTION, Vt — The 20th annual Yankee Sportsman's Classic Show, will be held Jan. 18 - 20t at the Robert
E. Miller Expo Center in Essex Junction, Vt. The three day,
100,000-square-foot event brings together 15,000 sportsmen, women and their families from all over, to celebrate
Vermont's hunting and fishing heritage.
With nearly 175 exhibitors, there is something for everyone. During this long weekend, attend seminars, check out

Harley's, take advantage of show specials and the truckload sale on Cannon gun safes, talk with wildlife and fisheries experts, and book the hunting or fishing adventure of

Winter gives way to
sports show season

T

he winter season has
gotten off to a tremendous start, due to a series of serious storms which
whitewashed the region during the recent Holiday season.
Unfortunately, if current
weather forecasts prove accurate, the white stuff may soon
melt into the ground, which
has not yet frozen.
Despite the appearance of
ice fishermen on several regional lakes, the quality and
quantity of local lake ice is
very questionable. Personally,
I have not been out on the ice, and I have no intentions of attempting to go anytime soon. Although reports indicate there is
about 2-3 inches of solid ice, there are also over 18 inches of
snow insulating the hard cap.
With the deep snow cover, the lakes are not making any ice
and the deep snow and slush makes travel tough and uncomfortable.
While I never like to miss out on an opportunity to fish, I have
no interest in imitating an olive in a martini. The fish will have
to wait, and so will I.
If you do plan to get out, be sure to bring along a hank of rope,
a PFD seat cushion, ice spikes and a long pole or hockey stick.
There have been several reports of anglers breaking through
the ice, and I know of at least one new snowmobile that has already performed submarine duty.

change saps the punch out of our most enduring of seasons,
many local sportsmen and women have retreated indoors to enjoy all sorts of their favorite outdoor sports.
Safe from the ravages of the North Country weather, this diverse group of like minded sportsmen, sportswomen and even
children have discovered that many of the region’s wildest experiences can be found at a local Sportsmans Show.
Fortunately, many events remain on this year’s calendar, but
sadly one, the Altona Sportsmans Show will be missing. The
event consistently drew large crowds to that tiny Northern Tier
community and the decision was not based on a lack of support
The event’s founders decided to pull up stakes after last year’s
successful event, and Suzie and Jeff Thaller have moved to Cranberry Lake, where they will bring their enthusiast for the outdoor
life to the old, Stone Manor Motel and Diner, with a promise to
be “Open 363 days a year.”
The fourth-annual Sacandaga Sportsmen’s Day, which will be
hosted in Broadalbin this weekend, will feature a diverse lineup
of seminars featuring local outdoor experts. Participants will enjoy a dinner of locally raised game as well as a keynote address
presented by Paige Patterson, a renowned Big Game hunter.
The event organized by the Sacandaga Bible Conference, will
open for registration at 9:45 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 12 at the Ray
Mills Youth Center on Lakeview Road in Brodalbin.
The $20 admission includes all seminars, dozens of vendors, a
sportsmen’s buffet, a silent auction and drawings for a huge supply of outdoor gear.
Guests will be able to attend a host of seminars, ranging from
Woodcarving, to Bow hunting, and from Whitetail Hunting in
the Adirondacks, to Brook Trout Fishing. The list continues with
topics such as Ice Fishing, Small Game Hunting, Birds of Prey,
and Making Useful Outdoor Tools.
Seminar presenters include Retired NYS Forest Ranger, Gary
Hodgson, outdoorsman and author, Dan Ladd, Guide and Coast
Guard Captain Steve George, and many more.
The event concludes with a Sportsmen’s Buffet, featuring Wild
boar chili, D’Artagnan duck, buffalo chorizo, spicy elk and venison summer sausage. All of the game meat is raised locally, including the buffalo, and elk.
This weekend’s event in Broadalbin was developed on a concept that’s been perfected by the fine folks who host the annual
Adirondack Sportsmans Dinner in Schroon Lake.
